Caspian Sea: World's Largest Lake Faces Climate Threat, Could Shrink by 2100

• The Caspian Sea is the world's largest lake, despite its name, and is completely landlocked with salty water.
• Located in the Eurasian region, it borders Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Azerbaijan.
• Covering 386,400 square kilometers, it's larger than Japan and reaches a depth of 1,025 meters.
• It contains nearly one-third of all inland surface water globally and supports unique wildlife like the Caspian seal.
• Scientists warn climate change could shrink the Caspian Sea significantly by 2100, potentially drying up an area larger than Iceland.
